Gas Safety Tips Everyone Should Know by Opinionated: 5:47pm On May 16, 2018 |
Do you use a gas cooker or keep a gas cylinder at home? No doubt, you are one of those who have found great benefit in using gas cookers and have experienced how efficient and convenient it is to use. This is most especially true after graduating from the usage of kerosene stoves and fire woods. However, one of the biggest problems associated with using a gas cooker which is now affordable is the issue of safety. If you are careless about using it, it can lead to a catastrophe. As such, Jumia Nigeria the online shop you can trust shares gas safety hacks you must know. Keep your appliances well maintained Gas appliances should be safety checked and serviced at least once every year, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer. A thorough service on your boiler and gas supply will include a range of tests and checks to ensure that the appliance is operating safely. Have a carbon monoxide (CO2) alarm installed Carbon monoxide is not only a potentially dangerous gas. It’s also incredibly hard to detect as it is both odourless and colourless. Carbon monoxide alarms detect and alert you to the presence of the poisonous gas, and should be fitted in your home. Ventilation Store gas cylinders upright in a well-ventilated area that is situated away from open flames, power outlets and electrical appliances. Also, if the ventilation of your room is hot, endeavour to open your windows. Be careful when cooking Today, gas cookers and cookers are found in almost every home because it is now inexpensive. So, when cooking with it, don’t sit or stand too close to the gas heater or cooker when it is in use, as this can be hazardous or result in gas burns. Never light a naked flame if you smell CO2 Ensure you refrain from lighting a match, cigarette lighter, or any other source of flame or spark whenever you smell or perceive carbon monoxide. If you do, you are at risk of burning down your home as a result of an explosion. Source: http://www.opinions.ng/gas-safety-tips-everyone-know/ 16 Likes

Neither Carbon II Oxide nor Carbon IV Oxide(CO2) are used as cooking gas. And both gases are odourless. The entire piece lacks credibility. 4 Likes |

Opinionated: Good post OP, but you don't smell carbon monoxide, a little concentration of it in air would have killed the person, however our gas cookers does not produce carbon monoxide except in very extremely poor ventilation, which will also have a fatal result. Good post all the same. 2 Likes |
Re: Gas Safety Tips Everyone Should Know by xreal: 8:49pm On May 16, 2018 |
How can we smell something that is odourless? It is stated that CO2 is colourless and odourless, so how do we smell it? I don't think the cooking gas is CO2 as you stated. 1 Like 1 Share |

SnowJay92: The OP made a little mistake CO2 is different from CO. To your question of how is carbon monoxide (CO) relates to gas cooker and cylinder is like asking how is rice related to stew. Gas (LPG or Methane) burn in the presence of oxygen and heat. This process is called combustion. There's also something called incomplete combustion(causes by different factors). When there's incomplete combustion,burning gas releases carbon monoxide. So gas and carbon monoxide are very very related. 2 Likes 1 Share |
